Gordon's comment on water reminded me of a proposal that is generating
some controversy here:
The agency responsible for water quality is proposing to switch from
regular chlorination of the water supply, to use of chloramine (maybe 2
words). Apparently the water would be toxic to fish for much longer than
is the case with regular chlorination.
I hadn't considered the possible effect of syrup prepared from the
water, on bees. Anyone have good information or experience on this?
